Home needed for injured cat

**AngelEyez1982** · 08-10-2004, 10:26 AM

Sorry I have kept everyone waiting on an update. I've been so busy with work and other things. Tigger did very well with his bath. It was like he wanted one, cuz he was so filthy. I was hoping to make his home here, but my boyfriend isn't convinced on letting me have another cat. I know the shelter would give him a very nice home. I just keeping fearing the worst would happen to him if I gave him away meaning him being put down. I'm know I have no worries, cuz I've already been told the only way that would happen is if he had AIDS or Lukemia. I just get attached to animals so quick that it breaks my heart to have to give him away. I'll be sure to let you know what I plan on doing. Thanks for everyone's concern and support. It really does mean a lot.

Please keep us posted on everything!

Has Tigger been to a vet yet? I really do hope that he is ok and his ear gets better!

Hopefully he has found his furrever home!

I think you should work on that boyfriend of yours, use whatever feminine wiles you have to, and maybe just maybe Tigger will be yours.

How about that ear,? it looks nasty beyond nasty, has Tigger had it seen to,? could be a nasty infection just waiting to catch a ride .

I really hope you can keep Tigger, poor kitty has had such a rough life, it would be great for Tigger to now have the care and love he so deserves, please keep us updated, I really want this story to have a happy ending.

I haven't taken him to the vet, but I do have medication from a vet that I have been putting on Tigger's ear. I don't have the extra cash to take him there personally. Plus my boyfriend won't let me, cuz he claims it's not our cat.

LoL...I'm trying to work on my boyfriend. I took some pictures today to show the improvement. I'll try to post them tomorrow for everyone to see.

I hope to give Tigger a happy ending as well.

well it's good that the ear is looking better- if you bring him to the shelter- he'll get a physical there. sorry your boyfriend won't let you use the car for a vet visit- cost is not the issue as lots of people have offered to help so it must be use of the car? Oh well. Keep us posted! You can't keep him I guess but you can see him through to his next forever home. And take heart, even if he is positive, there are nation wide rescue orgs, that if you are willing to hold on to him and do the work finding him a placement, it IS possible!
Hang in there- you are doing your best and that's what counts! He loves you for it for sure!

The car is not the issue. I just haven't had the time to make it up there. =/

I would just like to say Thank you for taking such good care of Tigger and opening your heart to his plight, Do you think some ointment will really help the ear though, ? it looked real bad to me, please take the offer of financial assistance to help Tigger, and I am sure maybe someone closer might beable to offer help to getting Tigger there., just a thought, PT is a place where everyone pulls together to help animals like Tigger.

Does your boyfriend make the final decision on Tigger, or do you get a say in it?

Keep us posted and new pics would be great , especially to show us Tigger's improvement, we are all concerned for him, and hope that indeed a happy ending is ahead.

You are a great person to have taken on this responsibility, and everyone on PT will thank you for that, and I bet Tigger is too.!!

Pictures posted as a new thread for everyone to see of Tigger.

I know a vet would give me something much better than what I'm using, but the ointment has helped a lot.

My boyfriend and I would have to come to a mutual agreement about Tigger, so I'm not sure what will come of that. Hopefully something positive.

Tigger sounds like he is in good loving hands, do you have any idea what happened to his ear,? looks like he got it chewed away by an attack or something.

No idea...we found him like that after the neighbor left him behind.
